Tonya Harding Meltdown at 1994 Olympics
At the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer,
Norway, Tonya Harding experienced skate
issues after her original laces broke in
the warm up. Without an adequate spare
replacement lace, her team ended up using
whatever they could find. However, it was
not long enough for her to properly tie
her skate. An agitated Tonya arrived on
the ice late for her performance and she
ended up stopping shortly into her
routine. She began to melt down as she
skated over to the judges and showed them
her skate issue. They allowed her to leave
the ice to fix her skate and then decided
that she could skate at the end of the
group instead.
